1. You don't have to have a dream. Instead, passionate dedication to the pursuit of short-term goals. Be micro-ambitious, put your head down and work with pride on whatever is in front of you.
2. Don't seek happiness. Keep busy and aim to make someone else happy and you might find you get some as a side effect.
3. It's all luck. Empathy is intuitive but is also something you can work on intellectually.
4. Exercise. Take care of your body and you will need it.
5. Be hard on your opinions. Be intellectually rigorous, identify your biases, your prejudices and your privileges. Most of society's arguments are kept alive by a failure to acknowledge nuance.
6. Be a teacher. Share your ideas don't take for granted your education. Eejoice in what you learn and spray it.
7. Define yourself by what you love. Be demonstrative and generous in your praise of those you admire. Be pro-stuff, not just anti-stuff.
8. Respect people with less power than you.
9. Don't rush. You don't need to already know what you're gonna do with the rest of your life. Fill our short existence with learning, taking pride in what you are doing, having compassion, being enthusiastic
